LinuxQuestions.org - Guake crashes and only a reboot can fix it?

Hi.

This happens very occasionally. Guake won't load. A system reset sorts it out (a log out/in does not). But is there another way?

Code:

guake

Code:

[WARN] Unable to load the library libutempter !

[WARN] The <wall> command will not work in guake !

[WARN] libutempter.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Code:

killall guake

Code:

guake: no process found

Guake Preferences loads fine. When I launch it from the terminal I get many lines like below. Perhaps that's a hint about the issue?

Code:

guake-prefs 

(prefs.py:5264): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.

Thanks.
